May 16th, 2016 - 7 months down!

Hello mother, hello father, hello everyone else lol

So this week was a legit roller coaster of events, thoughts, feelings,
and everything else.

YOU GUYS YESTERDAY WAS MY SEVEN MONTH MARK!!!!!!!!!
WOOP WOOP...ONLY 11 MONTHS TO GO!!!!!!

So last Monday we went and played soccer again and I was basically
just running up and down the field just so I could get some exercise
haha. Then after we went to the mission office to email and hang out,
sister Finn and I decided to work out(mostly because no body was
emailing me back!!!) so we went and ran a bunch of laps in the gym
then we did a workout with our workout apps. And boy we were going so
hard, we thought we were going to die but we are both so determined to
get in shape! Lol so I was pretty proud of myself:) haha

Tuesday we had a bunch of lessons and then we went out with Sister
T, she's the one where she will pull over her car when she sees
someone and ask them if they go to church and then give them a Book of
Mormon. Haha so we went out driving with her and talked to a bunch of
people that way. Haha and I was so proud of myself because I've been
eating really healthy lunches lately but I've been craving a cheese
burger but I didn't cave until sister T said she was hungry and so
she went through the drive thru at burgerville and well I ended up
getting one lol, I was so upset with myself but it was so good! Haha
then that night we went to a baby shower for a nonmember in the area.
She is married to a member and so we through her a shower because they
just moved here and we were trying to be friendly. So that was really
fun. We got to visit with a bunch of people in the Ward and it was
weird because it almost felt like home because I knew everyone and it
was like familiar and just comfortable. It was really fun.

Wednesday we had zone meeting which was really good. Then we had some
lessons then we went and helped a lady plant some flowers in her yard.
That was really fun because the sun was shining and we got to wear
shorts and I just loved it. Then we went and did some more service for
a lady in our Ward.

Thursday we went to clean windows which is always fun, and I got a
package from grandma!!!!:) it was such a nice surprise! THANK YOU
GRANDMA!!!! Love you:) then we had a bunch more lessons and S (a
laural who comes out with us) came with and I just love her because
she reminds me so much of Kylee and I just love being around her and
having normal conversations with her. It was fun! Then that night we
had a lesson and afterwards we got our make up done by the little 9 yr
old. She was so funny because she was begging us every week to do it
and finally we had time for her. Haha and then she ends up telling us
we have to pay her 25 cents! Hahaha oh man I was laughing because it
wasn't me that wanted to do it but I had to pay her! Haha the good
thing was I already had makeup on so it didn't show up as much. Poor
Sister Davis wasn't wearing any and I tricked the little girl in to
putting bright green eye shadow on her and she put bright pink blush
on her too. Oh man she looked funny! Hahaha

Friday we had a bunch more lessons and then we helped Sister T
plant some flowers and also we had to move some rocks of hers out of
her neighbors yard. And well it was hot and I didn't have gloves so
she gave me a sombrero to wear and she didn't have gloves so she gave
me pink socks instead hahah. So try and picture this, we had to go on
the other side of the fence (metal fence) and grab the rocks and throw
them thru the holes of the fence. It was the dumbest thing but her
neighbor was mad that her rocks were slightly in his yard. Anyway so
sister T is on one side of the fence and we are on the other and
I'm looking like a Mexican trying to cross the border with my sombrero
and pink socks hahaha. She took a picture, I'll have to try and get it
so I can send it to y'all.  It was honestly funny.

Saturday we went to down town Vancouver to help the van first sisters
move a lady's t-shirt business to a new studio.  And plus we got free
t-shirts:) and that is exciting because I love free shirts! Haha then
we had a lesson with a lady we are helping go to the temple and then
we went and helped weed an older couples yard. Although it wasn't nearly
as fun because the weather took a turn for the worse. It has been so
hot and sunny and amazing and then Saturday it dropped like 20 degrees
and started raining again. So now we are having a week of rain which
I'm no too excited about, and also it's cold again so I have to wear a
jacket again which is weird since its May!!! Haha so yeah, we were
weeding in the rain which was hard because it was very muddy. But it
was still better than knocking on a bunch of doors in the rain!
Then we were on our way to another lesson and this poor man ran out of
gas on the road so we hurried and pulled over and got out in the rain
and pushed this mans car so he could get out of the way. No one else
was helping him, poor guy. But it was okay because we helped him and
he was very happy, only spoke Spanish but still very grateful:)

So yeah, my week was pretty crazy! This week on Thursday we are having
interviews with president Taylor which I'm excited and nervous about.

Well I love you guys to the moon and back and miss you so much!!!!!
Have a great week!
And don't forget to remember me;)
